For a large part of society the reopening of schools and the beginning of the school year is not a joyous event.  With inflation, skyrocketing tuition fees and expensive equipment and accessories it has become a difficult time

Due to the high costs and the difficulties with the job market for parents several million children and adolescents are not accessing school.

Institutionalised discrimination and inequality in access to education is part of the permanent policy of the Islamic Republic’s education system.

Hundreds of schools opened with serious concerns for the safety and wellbeing of the children.  Thousands of classrooms are unsafe, with insufficient heating and lavatory systems.  This causes families great concern.

Organized religion has interfered with the academic standards in textbooks replacing it with superstition.  It is brainwashing and polluting the minds of children and education policies in all of the schools in the Islamic Republic of Iran.  Thousands of clerics have been dispatched to replace teachers, making students exacerbated and sad.  The schools are more like a garrison.

The Ministry of Education and training has a multi-trillion budget deficit and is one of the most indebted Islamic government ministries.  It endangers the future lives of several million students with the lowest academic and safety standards.

Iran is an example of the result of the fall of the value of education in the Islamic Republic producing deliberate neglect in providing education.

It has created a sad and limited situation with increased policing of security for students and their families.  The system does not care for the safety of schools and the heating systems which are a serious threat to student’s lives.  From kindergarten to the end of their education children are hostages of sharia rule.  Dozens of teachers are arrested, imprisoned or expelled for protesting at the dire state of the education system.

Teachers call for a nationwide protest on 13th October.  They want to change the catastrophic situation of education in the country.  They want a scientific and modern education.  The release of teachers who have been imprisoned is one of the most urgent demands of the protesters

On October 13th join the ranks of protest and demand an immediate change to the recklessness and indifference of the education system.
